FRENCH AND ENGLISH ACTING.

An odd phrase came into print the other
lay from London, with reference to the
famous French actress, Nine. Sarah Bern.
hardt "Her caressing charm Of manner"
we are informed, "was all thcre.s An al
Turing manner, no doubt-at least to many
persons-is possessed by Nine. BemhalSt.
The question, on that point. would be one OF
taste. But "caresSing' manner certainly
he has not. Here the question is one of
acting: and acting is not matter of taste,
,ut matter Of fact. And the fact is that
Nine. Sarah Benhardt. when. as an actress,
she undertakes to express love, invariably
tops short at the expression of the wish to
inspire it. Being a person who could not,
under any circumstances, love anything but
herself, it is not within her power adequate

Improvement TO gem-killing The disease
is reached and overcome by the infiltration
of sulphur in the mucous membrane Of the
lung tissues, and the harmful action of the
parasite is either counteracted or it remains
quiescent for time and ul imately disappears
with the complete establishment Of health.
The establishment of theory respecting
the tubercle parasite is, however, Of slight
importance in comparison with the actual
work ing out of successful method OF curing
the disease No subject in therapeutics Is
now receiving so much attention as DR.. Ber-
geon's treatment of consumption, both in the
United States and abroad Science in a
condensed statement of the results accom-
plished III French, English and American
hospitals, adopts the conservative view that
it is still too early TO declare that tuber-
culosis is durable, or that DR.. Bcigeon has
solved tho prob lem, although it comedies that
much may be hoped for from method OF
treatment which has received the sanction OF
80 many well-known authorities in medical
science. The experience of physicians who
have employed the system with markedly
favorable results seems to warrant greater
Iegree of confidence than this. The public.
however, should be warned against ignorant
and unscientific administration of these gases
in the sick ROOM Apparatus has been de-
vscd, and is now in the MAJ kct, whereby the
enemata may be employed at very moderate
cost Sufferers from the disease and their
friends may be tempted to apply the remedial
agents upon their own responsibility. This
is hardly prudent The advice and services
of physician should not be DISPENSED with
in such cases In medicine a little knowl-
edge is a very dangerous thing.

other. Whether as Camille or I'heOdori,
whatever may be the amatory part, her man.
ncr toward her lover is never that oil woman
who loves him; but always that of woman
who wishes to make him love her. The dis
tinction is an important one.
Many female actors present the same pc.

looks upon her lover with eyes that are lumin-

Sarah Bernhardt to those whom she can
please, makes herself alluring-but that is
all Those whom she cannot please, aside
from her technical felicity OF art, are those
who perceive the predominant fact that her
acting is completely saturitcd with selfish
ness Of temperament Overweening delight

Bcinhardt the defect is monumental; and
when VIC read about her carcssing charm OF
manner we read with grin. Anything

HOPE FOR COySUNPTJVES.

The BergeOn method of treating consuml,-
ton was based upon Koch's discoveries made
six years ago. Some Of tho ablest medical
authorities had been cOntcnding for many
years that tuberculosis was an infectious dis
case. The discovery of the tubercle bacillus
strongly confirmed this view. AS soon as
consumption was proved to be a parasitic
disease, one of the greatest French surgeons
predicted that a cure would be found for ii
in the form of a parasiticdc acting upon the
substance of the lung tissue very much as
external applications are used for itch
Dr. BergeOn employed sulphur because it
was well known that it possesses gem-de-
stroying properties He made various OK
periments with hydrogen sulphide, carbon
lisulphide and similar compounds in COM
bination with carb onic acid gas, and his sys-
tenn Of administering gaseous enemata is now
employed in French, English and American
hospitals with most encouraging results. His
original theory that sulphurettcd hydrogen
acts as parasiticide in destroying the tu-
bercle bacillus is not sustained, however, by
the best medical opinion. Dr. Morel, who
has recently written an exhaustive treatise
on the BcrgeOn method, directs attention to
the fact that even when patients are restored
to health by this treatment the baclli remain
in the sputnm. Many English and American
physicians, who have been experimenting
with the gaseous enemata. are convinced that
sulphurctted hydrogen, while useful palli-
alive and even curative agent. is not true
germicide.
In the final analysis of DR.. Koch's dis
coveries ii is after all q matter of conjecture
whether the parasite is the direct cause or
only the effect or sign Of the disease. With
out reference to this intricate question it is
certainly reasonable to conclude that the
gaseous enemata may be curative in their
effects without having absolute GEM destroy
ing properties. A writer in "The London
Lancet suggests that the value OF the treat
ment consists in the improvement of the
nutritive powers Of the lung tissues, In in
creasing their vitality, and In furnishing an
unsuitable soil for the development OF the
germs. Other authorities maintain that sui
phurettcd hydrogen is a curative agent when
applied to the substance Of the diseased lung
and that it is not necessary TO attribute tho
